I've included the button mapping picture for this controller
Like some other people I had some issues getting the buttons to map correctly and obviously its because the button configuration is different from any other game controller. I had some issues getting them to work correctly because some of the n64 buttons are not where you think they should be, so I attached a photo of the CORRECT config for your buttons, enjoy!

    Works great in retropie/emulationstation on my pi 3. Starfox felt just like I remembered, minus the rumble, but who am I kidding, my parents never bought me the rumble pak, so I reiterate, JUST like I remember.

    I'm not sure whether to be impressed that they still added the slot for the expansion paks or not. I mean I suppose they wanted to recreate the feel of the controller exactly, but they even added the spring latch that holds the paks (that's how nintendo spelled it btw) in. Why bother? there's no connector up there, seems like added manufacturing cost for nothing. I'm not complaining, just seriously curious.

    Bottom line, this thing looks, feels and plays just the way I remember

    Best N64 controller on amazon right now - I have had the "pleasure" of testing 3 other manufacturers version of this controller, and they were very poorly made.

    If you need the ability to play the joystick heavy games (starfox, mario kart, or any of the rare engine titles), then this is the correct hardware for you. It worked great with a pi 3, but you may need to write custom config files if you are running the mupen64 variant - the default values are not correctly listed on the site.

    It works just fine, I've used it on a couple games. I use Project64 for emulation.

    Number one issue is that this controller was described as New, but it has scratches/stains on it. I had this exact issue but worse with another controller from Retrolink, their Sega Saturn that I bought at the same time as this. The sticker was even peeling off the back of the sega saturn controller from them. Are you kidding?

    The buttons and joystick all work great, so if you don't mind the fact that you're being charged full price for a controller that looks bad, go ahead.

    I won't be buying Retrolink again. Two bad experiences in one purchase.

    Described as New. Instead, it's scratched and stained.

    Worth the money. I am happy with this controller. I ordered the controller and then looked at reviews. Someone said that the analog stick is too touchy, probably meaning it's not a true analog stick. I was worried but when I used it to play Super Mario 64 on an emulator on my MacBook, I was impressed to find that it is indeed a functioning analog stick! The controller is lighter than an original N64 controller and it lacks the actual connector in the slot for a memory card or rumble pack. The buttons don't feel like the original controller when you press them. None of these three issues bother me much. I'm just happy the controls function like the original.

    Looks like on the reviews that it is a hit or miss with this controller. If you are lucky and got a controller that was made by someone with half a brain then you got your self a nice controller. The controller feels authentic and good. The buttons press nice and the analog stick feels good.

    But if you are one the unlucky ones like me, you will most likely have this problem.

    - Buttons are mapped incorrectly. (my controller Left was Right, and my Right was Left)
    - Buttons defective like pressing in turbo mode or the button does not respond at all.

    It's usually one of these 2 problems. What I hate about Amazon, is that when someone returns a defective product they package it back up and resell it to someone else. My controller looked "used" as if someone other than me touched it. And I saw someone on here not to long ago with the exact same problem as me. They really need to inspect these controllers and make sure they work before you send them out.

    These are sometimes hard to find due to demand but these are hands down the best controllers for n64 emulation and works perfectly with my Retro64 from Southbay Electronics, running retropie on a raspberry pi 3.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Me encanto, muy buen control
    Reviewed in Mexico on October 21, 2023
    En mi opinion, uno de los mejores controles para jugar en PC. Responde muy bien, el peso de este es adecuado, los botones se sienten decentes al presionarlos y el joystick tiene mas direcciones de movimiento que un control original de N64. Lo mejor es que no ocupe instalar ningun driver adicional para poder utilizarlo en mi PC.

    Not the product’s fault, but it doesn’t seem to function properly with Retropie/ Raspberry Pi devices.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Broken on arrival.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2016
    Product was broken on arrival. The analogue thumbstick only registered half-movement on the whole right side, this led to games such as Mario64 having Mario just tip-toe every time he moved to the right. Pretty much unusable. Gamewizard UK also had terrible returns policies, so I'm stuck with a £12 controller I can't use. Being broken out of the box isn't a good start and I'd suggest if you insist on buying this, buy it from someone with a solid returns policy.

    Just as you would expect, a solid N64 controller that plugs in to your computer. Bought this a few years ago to play my N64 emulator on my laptop and it's still working great to this day. Definitely worth the buy.
